DRONE Announce Dates With EKTOMORF
December 23, 2008, 16 years ago
SPV / Wacken Records reports:
Thrash metal is more than a musical genre (and an extremely popular one at that), it’s first and foremost a philosophy of life. It’s about real values, faithfulness, loyalty and the moral courage to stand up against the excesses of modern society. The members of the band DRONE from Northern Germany live their music and season it with momentum and complex technical skills.
Frontman Moritz Hempel describes their influences: “We see ourselves as a contemporary metal band. Our sound takes the listener through a multi-faceted metal mix which includes all genres, modern as well as old school. At the same time our music has its roots in the Bay Area scene and bands such as TESTAMENT, MASTODON and MACHINE HEAD.”
Along with this illustrious mix, a good portion of ambition and uncompromising straightforwardness, Drone have developed into one of Europe’s most promising new thrash metal acts. Their second offering, Juggernaut, scheduled to be out on Wacken Records/SPV on March 30th, 2009 (Germany: March 27th, 2009), promises to document the distinct development of this highly talented act who have a great future before them.
